Scott Williams an Indianapolis boy, who has
been in the freight office of the general freight
agent of the Missouri Pacific road for some
years, has been appointed agent of the Wabash
road at St. Louis.
An ugly rate war is going between the
Missouri Pacific or the Texas Pacific. on the one
side and the A., T. & s. F. and the Southern

With the completion OF the Vincennes 81 New
Albany road it is expected that good market

to the river and then sent down the river on
barges in immense quantities
The Goshen Times says work has been COM
menced at that place on new stockyards for the
c., W. & NJ. road, and adds: "The stock men
pleased with the improvement. and hereafter
much of the stock shipped from here will find its
way into the Indian polls market. as the freight
will be cheaper than to the Buffalo market and
prices are as good, and as q rule better"
With the reorganization of the Wabash and
east of the river will again come into full COLI
troll of the entire property, and Frank Chandler
will doubtless become general passenger agent
of the entire system, which passenger men say
means general turning over of officials and
agents the line east of tho river which were
put there by Receiver McNulta.
A comparison of the several roads now in

some opposition. Outside influences are brought
to bear on the employees, which, in some cases,
causes a hesitancy, it is stated, on the part OF
the employees to invest their savings, as pro-

perhaps of modern times will be long remem-
bered, and there are not few people in Eng
land, as well as in this country, who
believe that the claimant for the Itch

other than the genuine Sir Roger.
There were many things brought out
in the almost fearful cross examination

many varied forms of surveillance,
which seemed to point Enthusiastically
to the genuineness of his claim, and there
felt and expressed. Added to his most adj
venturous career before the trial, it has been
scarcely less so since his defeat. He has met
with many misfortunes but none so serious
ing communication. which happily was
arrested in the manner which he describes.
1t will be observed by his signature that he
still holds on to the. peculiarities of writing
his name which called for good deal of
questioning during the trial, and, as
it is for reasons best known to himself
that he does so, there is no reason
traits which won him so many friends and
admirers was the pertinacity and good sense

The Mccarthy Burglary.

Last night Officer Arguello started out
on wild goose" chase for the burglar
who attempted to get into Mr.. ]. 2,
McCarthy's house, on Orange avenue.
early yesterday morning. Mr.. McCar
thy had an idea that one of the hand.
employed by G. A. Molier, in that neigh
borhood, was the guilty party. 1t ap-
pears that the bold burglar, in his hi,
haste to escape from Mr.. Mccarthy
anger. fed and left his shoes behind. Il
was Mr.. McCarthy's idea that if any
one could be found that the shoes would
fit. that party would be the burglar.
Following the direction in which
his suspicion pointed, he visited
the domicile of Mr.. Moli, axho
informed him that he could calf and see
the hands and examine their clothing.
MIR. Mccarthy lodged complaint at the
police station, and Officer Arguello last
night arrested under his direction hand
who is only known by the name Of
Henry" As soon as Henry had been
arrested Officer Argusllo took him to
Mr.. McCarthy's house, but as Henry
could not be identified, and as Mr.. Molier
stated that he had not been out of the
house during the night in question, the
officer released Henry, and it Is evident
that search will have to be made in an
other direction for the guilty party.

A FOUL MURDER.
One Of its Perpetrators
Hanged for the Deed
BUTTHE OTHER STILLATLARGB
Two Brothers, While Asleep, Killed
Two Years Ago in the In
dian Territory.

Associated Press.Dispatches to the HERALA
Fort SMITH, Ark, April S.-Patrick
Mccarthy was hanged here to-day for
the murder OF Thomas and John Ma
honey, in the Cherokee nation, ON the
18th of February, 1886. The evidences
was purely circumstantial, there being
no eye.witnesses to the crime, and Mo
Carthy disd protesting his innocenes.
According to the testimony. Mccarthy
left Redford, Indian Territory, February
18th, in company with Tom and John
Mahoney and Joe Sprule, bound for
Springfield, Mo. The Mahoney boys
had beeen working on the railroad, and
had some money and two good teams.
On the night of the 10th cCarthy and
Sprule planned the murder and
robbery of these boys, and.
arming themselves while their vic-
Tins weresasleep, murdered them IN cold
blood. Sprule had gun and Mccarthy
a pistol. The latter fired. killing Tom
Mahoney instantly, but Sprule's. gun
snapped and John Mahoney jumped up
but was braiued with an axe. The
bodies were robbed and hauled some
distance and thrown into ditch near
Barker's coal bank, close to the Kansas
line, where they were subsequently
found and identified. Dividing the
spoils, the murderers separated and
Sprule is still at large, but Mccarthy
was arrested one year ago to day and
brought here for trial. He was
convicted September Both and
sentenced with five others to
hang January 18th but the President
respited him till April Sth. This is the
theory of the prosecution, substautiated
by the fact Of Mccarthy having in his
possession the property of the murdered
men, but he protested Of his innocence
and with crucifix in his hand on the
gallaws, vowed he knew nothing of the
murder. The general impression here 10
that he was innocent and that in his case
circumstantial evidence lied. He was .
nervous man of 60. Mccarthy addressed
the crowd briefly, maintaining his inno-
cence and expressing his willingness to
die. He had wife in Dixon. Mo-, and
relatives, well connected in New York.
